Due to the recent changes of the climatic conditions, new crops emerged and were taken into consideration by farmers all around the world. One such crop is Camelina sativa from the Brassicaceae botanical family which gained its attention due to the high oil content and balanced fatty acid ratio. In Romania, being a non-traditional crop, Camelina lacks a specific cultivation technology adapted to local pedo-climatic conditions. Although Camelina is not a pretentious crop, the yield response to fertilization is significant and that’s what this paper covers. The experimental field was situated in the western part of Romania and we followed the yield response of two Camelina varieties under different fertilization schemes. The obtained results ensure the statistical significance of the positive yield variation of Camelina under different fertilization.
